THIS SONG WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO CALL YOUR DAD

I was just a kid, didn’t know the weight,
Saw my dad grind hard, never saw the hate.
Early mornings, late nights, tired eyes,
Still he smiled for us, never asked why.
I thought strength was loud, pain was shown,
Didn’t know real battles are fought alone.
He put food on the table, dreams on hold,
Carried every burden, never broke, never told.
I didn’t see fear sitting in his chest,
Didn’t see stress stealing all his rest.
He said “I’m fine” when he wasn’t okay,
Just to make sure we were safe every day.
Now life’s heavy, now I feel it too,
Same long nights, same worn shoes.
Bills to pay, mouths to feed,
No room to quit, no time to bleed.
I finally get why you never cried,
Why you swallowed pain, swallowed pride.
Love ain’t words, love is staying strong,
Even when everything feels wrong.
I was once a son holding your hand,
Now I’m the dad who understands.
